3. The Psychomotor Domain
The psychomotor domain includes physical
movement, coordination, and use of the
motor-skill
areas. Development of these skills
requires practice and is measured in
terms of
speed, precision, distance,
procedures,
7. Psychomotor Domain — Dave’s Taxonomy (1970)
The five levels of motor skills in represent different
degrees of competence in performing a skill. It captures
the levels of competence in the stages of learning from
initial exposure to final mastery. Imitation is the simplest
level while
Naturalization is the most complex level.
9. 1. IMITATION
The learner observes a skill and
attempts to repeat it, or sees a finished
product and attempts to replicate it
while attending to an exemplar. At this
level, the performance may
be of low quality.
10. 1. IMITATION
Examples: Copying a work of art.
Performing a skill while observing a
demonstrator.
Key Words: copy, follow, mimic, repeat,
replicate, reproduce, trace
12. 2. MANIPULATION
Examples: Being able to perform a skill
on one's own after taking lessons or
reading about it. Follows instructions
to build a model.
Key Words: act, build, execute,
perform
13. 3. PRECISION
Precision involves the ability to perform certain
tasks with some level of expertise and without
help or intervention from others. The learner
independently performs the skill or produces
the product, with accuracy, proportion,
and exactness; at an expert level.
14. 3. PRECISION
Examples: Working and reworking something,
so it will be "just right." Perform a skill or task
without assistance. Demonstrate a task to a
beginner.
Key Words: calibrate, demonstrate,
master, perfectionism
15. 4. ARTICULATION
- The learner coordinates and adapts a
series of actions to achieve harmony
and internal consistency.
16. 4. ARTICULATION
- Examples: Combining a series of skills to
produce a video that involves music, drama,
color, sound, etc. Combining a series of skills
or activities to meet a novel requirement.
- Key Words: adapt, constructs,
combine, creates, customize,
modifies, formulate
17. 5. NATURALIZATION
- Naturalization is the ability to
perform actions in an automatic,
intuitive or unconscious way.
- At this level, the performance has
become second-nature or natural,
without needing to think much about
it.
18. 5. NATURALIZATION
- Example: Maneuvers a car into a tight
parallel parking spot. Operates a computer
quickly and accurately. Displays competence
while playing the piano.
- Key Words: create, design,
develop, invent, manage
naturally
Dave’s Psychomotor domain (1970) is probably the most commonly referenced and used psychomotor domain interpretation. Dave’s five levels of motor skills represent different degrees of competence in performing a skill. It captures the levels of competence in the stages of learning from initial exposure to final mastery. Imitation is the simplest level while Naturalization is the most complex level.
Complex means -difficult, hard. not easy; requiring great physical or mental effort to accomplish or comprehend or endure
Imitation involves the ability to learn and pattern your behavior after someone else.
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to trace the basic strokes in writing.
The learner performs the skill or produces the product in a recognizable fashion by following general instructions rather than observation.
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to follow instructions on how to make a scrapbook. ‘
At this level, the performance becomes more exact and refined.
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to master cooking a well-done steak in 4-6 minutes.
Articulation involves the ability to adapt and integrate multiple actions to develop methods to meet varying and novel requirements.
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to create a trailer of the selected chapter in Noli Me Tangere.
Naturalization is the ability to perform actions in an automatic, intuitive or unconscious way. The learner accomplishes one or more skills with ease and makes the skill automatic with limited physical or mental exertion.
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to develop your own dance routine.
